Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Fig Tree Pocket, Australia

Lone Pine brings koalas and other native Australian animals into a leafy riverside setting outside the city centre. A visit works best when you use the daily programme to structure time around talks and presentations, then explore the sanctuary at a slower pace. Guided tours and specific wildlife encounters offer different levels of interpretation and need separate attention when booking. It is a particularly useful choice for visitors who want a substantial wildlife outing while keeping their base in Brisbane.
